8798079870424 watts of central air

[judecorp]

When I got home from the softball game, it was 87 degrees in my apartment, so I turned on the central air for the first time this season. I think I turned it on around 4:30pm, and it's now almost 7:00 and it has not stopped running (I'm trying to get down to 77 degrees). Ouch. The electric company is going to totally love us. On the upside, the central air thinger has an attachment that modulates the humidity, so not only is it much more pleasant in here, it's so dry and not-sticky. Hooray!

I took a nice cold shower when I got home from the game and I totally shaved my legs. It took a million years and after many years of furriness, I think they look really pale and funny. They feel kind of neat though, being smooth and stuff. (Though I think feeling wind through hair feels neat, too.) I guess I'm locked into shaving for the summer as I don't want to have half-grown, picky hair. Maybe I'll wear some skirts, too, and freak 'em all out.

We won our softball game, too! I played catcher for part of the game and right field for another part. (There are a lot of players and everyone kind of rotates.) I hit the ball at both of my at-bats (we had like 20 people and everyone bats) but was forced out once. Poop. Also, this co-ed league has all these weird rules revolving around women. Like, women use this lighter ball. And if a man walks (gets 4 balls) and the next batter is a woman, the man gets two bases instead of one. (I guess this is to discourage walking men to get to the women batters.) I didn't like all of the weird "special" rules. I'd rather play in an all-wimmin league.

I want my Jennifer to come home from work so we can make dinner and spend our evening together. It feels like Saturday instead of Sunday because she usually works on Saturdays. I'm so not ready to go to work tomorrow. COMMENCE THE SNUGGLING.

Snuggling Sundays are the best.

Congrats on winning your game!

I think everyone should stop shaving their legs for a period of time in their lives. I remember feeling the wind through my leg hair when I'd wear skirts with my hairy legs when I was working with my mother who was clearly ashamed of her hairy daughter.

But I also really really like smooth legs. I like to wear ankle-length skirts so if I decide hairy or unhairy, I don't have to make wardrobe changes.

I agree.

I didn't shave for 23 years, and now I'm done with it.

Wind through my leg hair is just too odd a sensation for me.

I only recently started shaving my legs again - and I'm awful at it. My left leg has cuts under the knee and on the back of my ankle. And I always miss a lot, anyway.

(Basically, I'm a failure.)

Meanwhile, look at you - shaved legs and skirts!

You'll look good no matter what you wear ;-)

SELL OUT!

Thanks!

MOOCH.

Yeah, but I'm a PRETTY sell out.

Dude, I should post a picture of what I'm wearing today! I'm wearing this tight little black shirt and this olive green shorts-skirt thinger (I hate the word skort). Dude, I got a million compliments today, AND the man at the auto parts store was ridiculously nice and helpful to me. My coworker said I had "skinny legs" and my director said I lost weight.

It was so weird. I should do this girl thing more often.

SO WEIRD!

p.s. I missed a bunch of spots, too.

I definitely think there are certain things everyone should experience, like the feeling of shaved vs. unshaved legs. Also, I think everyone should shave his/her head at least once. I think it's just a good idea to experiment with one's body. :)

I found with air conditioning it makes more sense to just run it all the time at a constant temp rather than try to get the temp down at certain times - it seems like it just runs all the time trying to reach the temp you want whereas if you have it set at that temp all the time it maintains it. I don't know how you can live in 77 degrees! That's hot! I'm a cold weather girl.

Well, I don't usually mind hot weather... it can be 82 or so in here and it doesn't really bother me. And honestly it doesn't get up in the high 80s in the house that often, so it doesn't make sense (financial sense) to run the AC all the time. It usually gets relatively cool here at night and I prefer the fresh air.

When we lived in Columbus, we kept the central air on all summer.
